I am currently with Vodafone and connected to the Massey exchange approx. 3.5k's from where I live.  Even though that exchange hosts Vodafone's DSL2+ equipment, making it a Red Network exchange, I have never been able to become a Red customer due to the impending cabinetisation.

Now Chorus have been in the area installing road-side cabinets, the closest of which is only 300m from my house, so I rang Vodafone and asked them how the process of changing from exchange to cabinet works, and of the two people I spoke to, neither really knew.

So, how does it work?  Is it as simple as one day waking up to full speed DSL2+?  Or is there something Vodafone need to do?  One of CSR's mentioned something about provisioning, is that because I sit 'inside' the Red network? 

The schedule for completion is currently October, so only a couple of months away, and it would be great to be able to get a decent increase in speed.
